Good child's camera

Advantages: easy to use and durable
Disadvantages: screen size could be bigger

...This was bought for my 3 year old son who always wanted to use our camera, which we were afraid that he was going to drop one day. So, this seemed like the ideal solution. The only down side was the price, which costs around £35-£40. I really wanted to buy him a cheap one from Argos or Tesco for less than £20, with a bigger screen size. However, I knew that being used by a child, it would be dropped and very soon broken. So, begrudgingly, I bought it because of it's durability. I was pleasantly suprised. It is chunky and thus easy for little fingers to hold. The sides are rubberised and I think this reduces the impact when dropped...and trust me, it has been dropped a few times. We have the blue one and that has two faces that are interchangeable. The only disadvantage is that the screen size (1.8") is rather small for children. Also...

Review of VTech Kidizoom Camera

Vtech Kidizoom plus camera

Advantages: chunky and easy for a child to hold, allows them to have some independence with a camera
Disadvantages: picture quality isn't amazing

...For my son?s sixth birthday I was looking for gift ideas when I stumbled across the vtech kidizoom plus camera. I was aware that a couple of my friends had purchased them for their children and that they were pleased with the product and so I bought it for the reduced rate of £30.00 from my Littlewoods catalogue. What is it? The kidizoom plus is a digital camera which is designed for use by children aged from three years. It comes in both a blue and a pink variety and it was the blue one which I bought for my son. The camera itself is quite chunky and around twelve centimetres I would say at a guess in length. The ends of the camera are wider than the middle part and make the camera very easy for small hands to hold on to. I like the fact that it has this as I feel that children can take a more focussed photograph if...

Review of VTech Kidizoom Plus Camera

Smile - You're on Kidizoom Camera!

Advantages: Very robust and resilient, fun features, images can be transferred, internal memory
Disadvantages: Menu system can be confusing, takes batteries, expensive RRP, picture quality not brilliant

...Last year I was looking for inspiration for Christmas presents for my then three year old son when I discovered that Amazon were selling this Vtech Kidizoom video camera for half price at just £29.99. I was still undecided whether he might be too young for it when a near miss with my own Lumix camera and my enthusiastic budding photographer made my mind up! The camera has been very well designed by Vtech to meet the demands of your average clumsy pre-schooler. Available in either blue or pink, this is recommended for children over the age of four and comes with a completely rubberised protective coating which surrounds everything from the handle to the camera section itself. My son has tested this to its limits and dropped this on numerous occasions. Fortunately, the camera has proven to be totally resilient and has not even resulted in...
